Last night at Philthy's, the Raptors Republic representation completely outnumbered the Leafs Nation fan base. And by the time the Raps and Leafs games were over, both the Republic and the Nation could have bonded knowing that we understood each others pain - but we didn't cuz Fridays at Philthy's is home to Raps fans!

Rollin' with close to 40 loud and proud Raps fanaddicts, we all experienced a roller coaster of emotions that started with a bout of agonizing frustration, continued with joyous shock and exciting surprise, and ended with the usual disappointment we've experienced this season. When it was all said and done, all of us agreed that regardless of the outcome, we all had a ton of fun and can't wait to do it again next Friday against the Bulls.
